#vegan recipe for pecan stuffed dates. They are the perfect after-dinner sweet treat so make sure you dish up plenty! Pick up our
#Avocado Oil Spray from
@Tescofood to cook the filling, full recipe below! 😋
Ingredients
2- 3 sprays of Avocado Oil
1 chopped shallot
1 crushed garlic clove
50g fresh breadcrumbs
100g pecans, finely chopped
1 tbsp thyme leaves, chopped
50ml vegan vegetable stock or water
12 medjool dates, pitted
12 small sage leaves
Method
Spray Avocado Oil into pan, leave to heat up. Add the shallot and a generous pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 mins until softened, then add the garlic, breadcrumbs, pecans and thyme and cook for 1 min more. Add a splash of vegetable stock to bring the mixture together, then set aside.
Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut the dates in half lengthways (but don’t cut all the way through). Take small balls of the filing and push inside the dates, then push the sides of the dates back together. Put a sage leaf on top of each date, then put the dates on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Get ahead by prepping your dates up to this point – they will keep in the fridge overnight ready to be baked.
Spray the outside of the dates liberally with Avocado Oil, then bake for 15-20 mins until the sage leaf is crisp. Serve immediately.
